New Development - Diamante VRX 6G74 Engine Swap

[DOHCstunr]

I disagree about the needing a standalone part. The guy who did the Kia headswap to DOHC has his stock ECU with a flash running the car just fine. I dont see why this cant be done for the V6 ECU.

yeah but the headswap on the v6's woudl mean going fom a distributor to DIS.

i imagine it would require at least an ecu swap.

Also as far as I was told (by Mynes), the flash WILL NOT work for our Galant V6 cars, because we use a different processor in our ECUs than the eclipses do.

I have not looked at my ECU yet, he said he saw one from a 99 or 00 I think, so they could have changed all of them (ours and the eclipse) when they changed them in the 2001 eclipse for california spec.

after all the reading i did so far im still unsure if this can be done on the I4 G's or just the V6

[dknight3]

from what ive read this swap is only for v6 guys, the i4's engine mounts are in different locations...

i was thinking about getting one of these engines, but i dont know if i could get the dohc to work or if i should stick with sohc.

You guys need to talk to Boostzealot on TGC, he has done the swap, I have personally rode in his car and its bad ass. Big difference between the 6g72 and the 74.

[DOHCstunr]

the 74 is mean, i have one in my dad's diamante.

i made an intake for it, sounds so good, you can actually hear the stroke.

It can only be done on v6 galants, stick with sohc because we know it fits.
